Definitions

  • the present invention has as its main object the providing of a games racquet in which the deemed mid section 10 of the racquet is very (ultra) thin, relative to other parts of the racquet. It effectively achieves this object by having as its essential feature the deemed mid section 10 of the racquet manufactured so that the beam, or width of the frame of the racquet when viewed from the side with the racquet held in a vertical position, or the beam or height of the frame of the racquet when viewed from the side with the racquet held in a horizontal position, is either equal to or less than 13 millimetres for tennis and either equal to or less than 8 millimetres for squash and racquet ball.
  • racquets which are very thin in their mid section permit more flexibility in production options.
  • racquets may be produced which are either very light weight overall or normal in weight but incorporating varying weight distribution systems outside the deemed mid section.
  • a very thin mid section of a games racquet also allows such racquets to exhibit superior performance characteristics such as better balancing and a much lighter swing weight.
  • Racquets are also able to exhibit faster swing speeds in all directions due to less wind resistance. More spin is able to be added to the ball which gives more control to shots.
  • the elimination of a significant amount of the racquet frame in the mid section greatly reduces the transfer of racquet vibration and shock after impact with the ball to the handle of the racquet, which in turn reduces the occurrence of arm and related injuries.
  • the best method of producing a very thin mid section 10 of a racquet is to eliminate much of the frame of the racquet in the mid section. This may involve
  • Figure 1 is a face view of a games racquet and figure 2 is a beam view or side view of a games racquet with the racquet held in a vertical position, where the deemed mid section 10 of the racquet can be readily identified.
  • Point 1 being the tip or twelve o'clock point on the racquet frame.
  • Point 2 being the nine o'clock point on the racquet frame.
  • Point 3 being the three o'clock point on the racquet frame.
  • Point 4 being the bridge area or six o'clock point on the racquet frame.
  • Point 5 being the throat area of the racquet frame.
  • Point 6 being the shaft area of the racquet frame.
  • Point 7 being the point twenty centimetres up the handle from the end of the racquet where the butt 9 of the handle lies.
  • Point 8 being the handle of the racquet.
  • Point 9 being the butt area on the handle of the racquet.
  • Point 10 shows the deemed mid section of the racquet.
  • Figure 3 is a face view of a games racquet without an identifiable bridge area where the deemed mid section 10 of the racquet can be readily identified.
  • Point 1 being the tip or twelve o'clock point on the racquet frame.
  • Point 3 being the three o'clock point on the racquet frame.
  • Point 4 being the top section of the shaft area of the racquet frame.
  • Point 5 being the throat area of the racquet frame.
  • Point 6 being the shaft area of the racquet frame.
  • Point 7 being the point twenty centimetres up the handle from the end of the racquet where the butt 9 of the handle lies.
  • Point 8 being the handle of the racquet.
  • Point 9 being the butt area on the handle of the racquet.
  • Point 10 shows the deemed mid section of the racquet.

Abstract

Les raquettes utilisées dans les jeux comme le tennis, le squash et le 'racket ball' comprennent normalement une tête, un pont (4), un c÷ur (5) et une zone de manche équipée d'une poignée. La partie médiane (10) considérée du cadre de la raquette comprend la moitié inférieure de la tête de raquette, le pont (4), le c÷ur (5), le manche (6) et éventuellement une petite partie (7) de la poignée (8). La partie médiane (10) considérée du cadre de raquette est fabriquée de sorte que le chevalet, c'est-à-dire la largeur du cadre lorsque celui-ci est vu latéralement avec la raquette en position verticale, soit égale ou inférieure à 13 millimètres pour la raquette de tennis et égale ou inférieure à 8 millimètres pour le squash ou le 'racquet ball'.
